Northern California has pretty much the best environment in the world for preserving, preparing, and running classic race cars. Check out the cars that NorCal’s top vintage event of the year, the Monterey Motorsports Reunion held at Laguna Seca, and you’ll see what I mean.

It takes a hell of an event to make a Ferrari 250 GTO seem pedestrain.

Watch this video tour, watch me freak out about seeing the not-yet-legendary-but-it-should-be Mirage M1 there, and hear my audible remorse that our video crew stopped recording before I could get to all the weird 1990s silhouette Oldsmobiles.
